I was blessed to inherit my mom's "fuerza y valor," strength and valor. Along with this blessing came the genetic inheritance of a BRCA2 gene. This means that I have an 80% chance of having a breast cancer diagnosis. I'm not a mathematician, but 80% is a pretty big chance. The solution to rid my existence of the permanent dark cloud is to undergo an elective double mastectomy. The problem? I have to lose 100 lbs before I can have this surgery. So far, I'm 33 lbs closer!
This blog will help me stay accountable and connect to others. It will also be a reminder to enjoy life in the meantime.
